He became a cultural Ambassador and began to build bridges between countries - between South Africa and India between Singapore and India and later between the Maldives and India.Īs part of a cultural exchange project, he took Bollywood and Kollywood movies to various parts of South Africa. Looking at the response, the Indian consulate gazetted Prabhu for launching these schools. Twenty schools teaching Bharatanatyam were started and more blacks joined. The shows were an instant hit, even among the blacks. A Bharatanatyam dancer himself, Prabhu conducted dance shows in a big way to create a bond between the Indians and the blacks. Looking at the response, Prabhu decided to use `entertainment and cinema' to convey a strong message to the regime that Indians, who were segregated in public places - at shopping malls, in public toilets were far superior to them culturally, technologically and intellectually. Turning point The `turning point' did come when one of his cultural shows against the apartheid regime caused ripples. Mandela's words determine events in Prabhu Nepal's family.
He started organising cultural shows to change their indifference to the plight of the blacks. He breezily narrates his days in Durban and speaks about the oppression of the blacks under the apartheid regime and how he could not be a silent spectator to the servile attitude of Indians towards South Africans. His grandmother Lakshmi was a freedom fighter associated with the African National Congress (ANC). His family had connections with Nelson Mandela. Prabhu's family was part of a large Indian community that lived in Durban. Cinema and entertainment were a purely `white man's affair during the apartheid regime, Prabhu Nepal, producer, director and actor of small screen industry tells T.

This lightning man, born in the `dark continent,' has taught the various communities in South Africa what entertainment is about.
That is what Prabhu Nepal calls his entertainment company. 'Tamil movies made members of the apartheid regime rub shoulders with Indians' Jakarb' means lightning in a South African language. List of programs broadcast by Sun TV List of TV shows aired on Sun TV (India).
